We just received the news that Tim’s biopsy shows no signs of the mutation NPM1 ! See what this means below:
What NPM1-negative MRD means in plain terms:
The most sensitive molecular test available looked for traces of his specific leukemia at a level far below what any standard test can detect — and found nothing. The cancer’s fingerprint is gone from what they can measure. That is the single best possible result from post-induction testing. It’s not just remission. It’s deep molecular remission.
There were also some other mutations, but from what I understand, this was the primary one.
That means that, at this time, no transplant is needed. He will continue the next two rounds of maintenance chemo and then will have regular blood tests to keep watch.
God is good! All the time! All the time! God is good!!!!!!!!
